RELIEF FOR CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
But the appropriations for the Confederate
Home constitute only a small portion of the
relief afforded to disabled Confederate veto
rams during the administration Of Gov. Nc
Emery.
In 1880 the Legislature made an appro-
p~riation for the purchase of artificial limbs
for such Confederate soldiers enlisted from
Louisiana who lost a leg or an arm in the
by o still larger appropriation Tor the same
purpose, and further appropriations were
made IN 1856 to cover cases NOT provided io'
under the former acts, and also to provide
those who themselves were unable to bear
the expense. Altogether the sum of $780,
900 has been expended since 1880 in pro-
viding limbs for manned soldiers of Louis
lana.
Still further provision was made for them
in 1886, when an act was passed by the Leg
i~slature donating to all Confederate soldiers
in INDECENT circumstances, who may have
enlisted from Louisiana, and who dur1ng
that Term of enlistment received such wound
as to cause amputation of limb, or who be-
come manned by such wound to such an ex-
tent as to permanently disqqalify him from
entered on vacant land of the State. This
grant is lot limited to the Confederate SOL
diers themselves. but also applies to the
widows OF Confederate soldiers who are IN
married and in INDECENT circumstance and
dependent IN their own physical labor for
support, whose husbands were killed il
battle, or died from the effects of wounds
received in battle, or otherwise lost their
lives in the service of the Confederate
States. or have died since leaving the service
OF the Confederate States from such wounds.
Although several of the Southern States
have made some provision for their disabled
Confederate soldiers, none of them have been
as generous as Louisiana during Gov. Nc
Enery's administration. The different meas
ures for their relief above mentioned have
had the active support and warm indorse-
ment of the Governor. and received the stamp
of his cordial approval when presented for
his signature.

vided For-An Advisory Board of

Measure.
ATLANTA, GA, July 27.-In the Senate
to-day on motion of Mr.. Butt, the bill pro
viding for the recording of executions
based on judgments from courts not of
record or if Of record having no execution
docket, was reconsidered and recommitted
There was q long debate ON the bill Of
Mr.. Peek to make it unlawful for any per
son or persons who may receive advances
upon contract to work the lands Of
another, either as renter, cropper, or for
standing wages, TO fail TO comply with such
contract without good and sufficient reason.
Senators Butt, Dean, Davis, Roberts,
Brantley and Peak, made lengthy arguments
for and against the bill.
The principal objection raised was that 1t
was unconstitutional and practically pro
viding Imprisonment for debt and class
legislation in the interest of the land
lord. The report of the committee, which
was favorable, was agreed to, but the bill
tabled by a close vote. During the debate
there was warm engagement between
Messrs Butt and Peek which at first prom
ised rather serious difference, but fortu-
nately terminated not unpleasantly The
Senate went into executive session on a
sealed communication from the Governor
and confirmed the following appointments:
K. f. Simmons to be Judge of the County
Court of Terrell county.
P. w. Twitty to be Judge of the County
Court of Mitchell county.

CRUELTY TO CONVICTS.
Gov. Gordon Condemns. the Bondurant
& Jopling Camps.


ATLANTA, GA, July 27-Principal
| keeper Of the penitentiary Towers, to whom
DR.. Westnoreland reported in writing the
result of his investigation of the Bondurant
& Jopling convict camp, has submitted
the report to the Governor with a recon-
mendation that the camp be broken up I'M
less a radical change be made in it's manage
ment within ten days, and that such change
include the removal of MesSrs. Bondurant
a. Jopling, as no Improvement is
have anything to do with the camp. DIR.
Westmoreland reports the campin bad con
dition. Just what cause produced this I'M
fortunate condition, resulting in an unusual
| amount of sickness it is difficult to say, but
that there are radical defects in the manage
ment of the convictS he has no doubt. He
is satisfied that the buildings and surround
ings have not contributed to it, but other
causes He examined the sick in the hos
pital and several that were at work, and is
fully satisfied that there is more than one
cause.
OVERWORKED AND UNDRFFED.
He is confident, first, that the convicts
are being ovcrworked, and second, he is just
as confident that they are not properly fed.
If they get enough in quantity, which Dr.
Westmoreland doubts, there is deficiency
in variety and quality, and it is likely the
food is not properly prepared and served,
which is the most prominent cause, or
whether there are not other factors
equally important, he is not pre-
pared to say. He found eight sick
In the hospital-four with accidental injuries
of slight character, one with syphilis, one
with rheumatism ana two with 'swelled
legs He examined the two last with great
care. There were present several symptoms
of scurvy, but other symptoms were absent.
He is at loss whether it is scurvy proper
or Stimulating scurvy, and would not report
scurvy in the camp unless its presence was
unmistakeable. But while he is in doubt as
to scurvy it makes little difference as re-
CARDS the sanitary condition of the
camp being the cause of the trouble
as the convictS are feeble and deficient
in blood, showing the absence of proper
hygienic surroundings. The Governor, fol
lowing the recommendations of Supt
Towers, ordered the camp BROKEN up if
there is not radical change in the manage
ment and sanitary conditions, and radiance
